I started a year ago playing, sweated the 2 first weeks. Not many bottles, and the price was around 3 to 3,5 a bottle
true
and it was even 4.4 for a week, but this was during a change
before this, you could trap mobs, and get sweat (still in the max 5 bottles times price, 1.2)
a lot of ppl used AC, etc, to sweat thats why the price was so low
then the trapping was introduced, so, no more sweat from trapped mobs, and all the AC users had to sweat on their own, means, now it was work, so less did it, so less, sweat, so higher price (up to 4.4)
max amount per pull was raised, more sweat available, price dropped to around 3
then they recognized that you could stand on a hill/spaceship and sweat the mobs, price fall, combined with the raised amount to 22, the sweat price fell again 1.1-1.3
sweat cap removal, so all ppl can sweat again, price stayed at 1.1-1.2
why does it stay at this?
this is easy, now the same ppl sweat as before too more or less
the newcomers of course, but also the "professional" sweaters
with the sweat cap, they simply used multiple accounts (guess why PE has 400 000+ participants) and sweated with them until they couldnt anymore
so, overall, there is not THAT much more sweat on the market, even with more possible sweaters, so the price stayed, and if you see the number of mindforce users atm, which is overall quite small, simply because it isn't that economical, then you will understand why the price is still so low (i still think it was made from MA to lower the multiple accounts, sooner or later the number of participants becomes ridiculous high, and most ppl will see that there are NEVER more then 100k online)
if you want higher prices for your stuff, that is natural, and we want it all
but maybe my little history lesson showed you one thing, the price was much higher, and will be higher again, it never really lower as now
since MA announced a change in mind force, you should maybe consider to hold your sweat at least til the next version update, you never know, maybe it will be worth 3.4 then
most likely it can't go down much
still, it is a risk
and i will still stay with my opinion, that it is MUCH better as it was when i started, you get loads more sweat per hour then i did (no complaining, i sweated 2 months when i started
and got some evade skills with it)
the problems to sweat in 1-3 areas aren't that bad, this will just reduce lag in those areas (i just went to phoenix when i had a tp run with my disciples, if it is less crowded now, thats an advantage, same for PA)
now, to the problems sweating newbies will have, true, but billys is not that far away, and it should work there
that it is hard for newbies to reach troy or billys is not true
when you run east enough, you will either end in billys, or 2, maybe 3 possible stuck outposts
from those you have 3 options, depending on position
back to PA (usually quite hard)
zychion (quite hard)
Troy (often the only possible way)
we will see if this stays and how it will end, but it could be much worse
(says Alice, who read 10 books in the 2 months while sweating)
